Cream always rises to the top! This app is a winner! – Note Rush: Music Reading Game Review

I’m a big fan of Note Rush, and so are my piano students! This app drills the foundational skill of matching notes to the piano keyboard in a most fun way! (By the way, it doesn’t bother my students that these are not printed notes-but ladybugs, planets, and soccer balls-they like to choose.) I have 2 types of challenges as part of my Wall of Fame in the studio this year - one is identifying various-sized groups of note flashcards in 60 seconds or less, with a thank you nod to Nicola Cantan for the idea, and the second part is playing Note Rush! Levels 2, 3, and 5 match perfectly to my goals for my students, and that makes the app so easy to use as a teacher. My students play Level 2 for our “Bronze Level”, for instance, Level 3 for our “Silver”, and Level 5 to "Go for the Gold”. When any of their NoteRush times meet the requirement, their name goes up on the wall, which they watch closely! Several of the more competitive students want to make a friendly competition of their Note Rush scores, which is easy to do, since the times are measured in seconds and hundredths of a second, which eliminates ties! (Thanks for this feature, Thomas!) So the students’ note placement skills are improving, which makes me happy, and they are having a lot of fun in the process! Finally, I wanted to add that many of my students have already purchased their own app, at my encouragement, so now I know they are playing Note Rush often. Congratulations, Note Rush team!
